Econimo
Potential and limits of thermophotovoltaics
Description
Econimo Drive AG develops generators that convert chemical energy (e.g. from methanol) into electrical energy.
These generators drive actuators on a broad range of sizes. The fundamental priniciple behind the Econonimo technology is thermo photovoltaics, i.e. the conversion of infrared radiation into electrical energy using appropriate PV - elements.
